Classic Vibe Tele.....

Post by Roger Rettig »

I have a CV Tele Custom on its way to me. I hear good things about these, so I thought I'd risk $500 on one. Mine will be under 7 lbs, so it's pretty light for a present-day Tele.

Why post this here?

What if it turns out to be a killer guitar?? $500 for the guitar, then another $650 to Glaser to 'bring it up to spec'! It makes no sense at all. :D

I got one of these a few years ago and it is my favorite CV tele. Here's a review and the mods I did to mine. The bridge (any quality bridge) will be. a big upgrade in sustain.
